Description That has to be my favorite line in the game. Such powerful words. Really inspired me.



Yeah! I've finished Final Fantasy 13! This drawing is for celebration purposes. Those three boss jerks that I worried about too much were actually all so easily defeated. Didn't surprise me that much though since I spent a long time trying to level up as much as I could in Gran Pulse. Though I spoiled myself, the ending movie was still awesome to watch, especially after clearing the game myself - the quality is typical for a Final Fantasy game. I liked the part where Vanille and Fang turned into a Bijuu - I mean, Ragnarok. And off course that scene just before they faced off with Orphan itself.

I like that scene when Lightning said this quote. Epic. So I drew my own version of that. I didn't draw the others here since there isn't any room for them in the sketch pad. And... I'm lazy. Also, I had Lightning hold her Ultima Weapon here instead of the usual Blazefire Saber since I used the former when I cleared the game. I also tried making this like Yoshitaka Amano's works again by adding those swirls of color and stuff... Sorry for the writings too. Can't help but write that down.

Also a student told me that Lightning here seems to have no neck. I told her it's covered by her collar. But then she insisted it still looked weird. I agree actually. It's times like this I wish I had a model to do poses for me.

Can't wait to play Final Fantasy XIII-2! (Which I'm still waiting for 'til now! It's been 4 months already and the store doesn't have a copy yet???)

The fluid style Orphan is expressed looks really stunning. You seem to have much skill in line art

Lightning is one of the most awesome designed girl to me. IDK why, maybe because of the hair, it looks awesome!

BTW what's that mask? I didn't play FF 14... It's 14, right?

Yay, you did a FF one. >=] *submits to group* I really like this, too, because it shows a part of the storyline that most people simply forget about after a while. Which is a nice touch.

I dont recomend you playing FF13-2. It does not have the quality level of FF13.
You can watch some walktroughs on youtube to see what i am talking about. :3

The FF13-2 doesnt have to do "much" on FF13. Its all Serah focused. Like they used FF13 characters and put it on a new game.

Lightning should've come up with a better speech. Something philosophical or something. Not something you'd hear from a Disney movie like miracles and all that childish bullshit. I hope Versus XIII will follow to be more like Shakespeare.

I know. I don't want Versus XIII end up like Duke Nukem Forever; a half-ass interpretation of what the original creators intended to bring to life.

Congrats! I woulda used that Ultima weapon too, IF ya know what I mean . . . . . .

I think the writings add to the drawing, first off it's saying the phrase that inspired this whole piece, second it helps you move between Orphan and Lightning, so it does add to the compostion.

Whoever said the shoulder looked wierd might have been right, it does look strange. But m opinion on 'that' sepcific matter is because of the place her right shoulder is in. Since it's elevated and angled it makes the length of neck in between the chin and shoulder short and since the other side is actually covered byher collar and hair. So while it looks like there's no neck, I know that there is and it makes me happier with this piece.

I was still incredibly happy with it before then too anyways

Nick-Ian In reply to AsXurian [2013-02-07 09:48:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! Ah! Sometimes you really have to be careful with the details when you're drawing. I'm still learning that now - I mean sometimes, I just try to finish a piece as fast as I could just because I want it don't and over with. I still need some practice when it comes to anatomy and poses. But it's fun learning though.

AsXurian In reply to Nick-Ian [2013-02-07 12:24:31 +0000 UTC]

And that's the wonderful beauty of Art

The fun's all in seeing your mistakes change and watching your art get better through practice. Anatomy is something someone could spend years studying and barely have a 'perfect' understanding of it, for a lack of a a better word, and still not be able to draw it correctly.

lul, because sometimes things just don't ever look right

diskfire [2013-02-06 18:01:18 +0000 UTC]

Aww yeah, this was a pretty awesome scene. Especially Orphans creepy laugh/scream right before the fight.

I think you drew orphan really sweet. I think I see the problem with lightning though. Her shoulder's looking a little too broad. Otherwise, it's pretty sweet.
